Bible and a .44

He had a Southern drawl like a redbone hound
 And every song he sang was my favorite sound
 He'd be the last one off if the ship went down
 The kind of man it feels good to be around
 The kind of man it feels good to be around
 He had hair as white as a cotton field
 And he could spin you a story like a wagon wheel
 He never went nowhere without a rod-n-reel
 Lord, I miss that man, and I always will
 I miss that man, and I always will
 He'd see through a lie like an old screen door
 He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord
 He carried a Bible and a .44
 And they just don't make 'em like that no more

 He said, "Take what you've got and do the best you can"
 The best thing you'll ever own is a piece of land
 Ya'll, he knew his like the back of his hand
 He was something else, my old man
 He was something else, my old man
 He'd see through a lie like an old screen door
 He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord
 He carried a Bible and a .44
 And they just don't make 'em like that no more
 I saw him strum this thing every chance he could
 And he left it to me like he said he would
 And if you ask me why it sounds so good
 It's cause I'm holding more than strings and wood
 I'm holding more than strings and wood
 He'd see through a lie like an old screen door
 He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord
 He carried a Bible and a .44
 And they just don't make 'em like that no more
 No, they just don't make 'em like that no more
